Donald Bushey, B. S., Landscape Architect, Arrives in Lawrence
Kansas Municipalities League
Chooses Staff Member
After Survey
Donald d. Bussey, of Appleton, WI., received in Lawrence Tuesday to take up the work of landscape architect on the grounds of the League of Kansas municipalities.
revealed Mr. Bushey as the man best qualified to undertake the work in Kansas, where there is not only a stimulated interest, but a felt need for constructive work in landscape arbi-tecture.
In answer to a growing interest in park and playground development, the League, at its last annual meeting held at Newton in October, voted to add to its staff a man especially suited to carry out the extensive canvass of the field, especially the outstanding landscape schools. University of Michigan and Harvard.
Mr. Rusbey has as a background for his work, not only the best training to be had in the field, but several years of practical experience. In addition to this, Mr. Rusbey with a major subject of botany, Mr. Rusbey holds a master's degree from the School of Landscape Architecture, University of Michigan. For the past three years he has been engaged in the development of public parks and school grounds throughout the state of Wisconsin. His work also included subdivision and park-cemetery work. Prior to this time he was associated with the Office of State Parks in Ohio, in the development of large country and city estates.
Harold D. Smith, head of the city planning and zoning department of the League, in speaking of the work done by his staff last week that at the present time, by any unit of measurement, practically all Kansas cities fall far below the recognized standards.
"There is not only a need for more park area, but a better development of existing areas," he said. "A glance at the front lawn shows that when it is desired to cut a tax rate, it is the park levy which suffers. Even in Kansas, where there is plenty of land available for parks, we are using the treets for a playground."
Mr. Smith explained that in the matter of city planning and zoning Kansas is making rapid strides. Many new city planning commissions have been appointed, and there is a greater number of cities zoned in Kansas than in any other state between New York and Washington, he said, "to make possible for Kansas the same progress in park and 'ghayground development.'"

Republicans Invite Party Insurgents to Re-enter Fold
Dusted Members Manifest Indifference Toward Overtures Made by Leaders
United Press
Washington, Dec. 1.—More thorn were grown in the path of Republican senate leaders today when the so-called insurgent group manifested indifference about returning to the party fold.
With the Republicans holding only a theoretical majority of 48 to 47 in the new senate, Senators Curtis, Watson and other leaders have made overtures not only to other ousted independent Republicans but to the low-income voters. Shigehisa Shipe, candidate in the new senate, in the hope of holding control in the new senate.
Curtis and Watson have offered to restore Senator Fayer, independent Republican, North Dakota, to chairship of a committee and give him all possible party favors. President Obama has had Shipman at the helm during the breakout and reports have been spread that he will return Republican.
Frazier and Shipstead, however, indicate no immediate intention of embracing the Republican organization. The United Press is informed reliably that Frazier has recently been antagonized by the appointment of C. F. Midgett as United States marshal in his home state. Midgett was the vice president of the Anna Hanna of North Dakota, who has fought both Frazier and his friend, Senator Nye, Republican, North Dakota.
Believing that he has the upper hand, Fraser has given Republican leaders to understand that he has to win. He was accepted by party organization. He was counted from the organization two years ago with Senators Brookhart, LaFollette and Land for joining in the LaFollette presidential move.
Men Need Faculty Advice
Ames' Dean Recommends Chair for "Boy Guidance"
--executive Committee Report Will Be Submitted Today at Meeting
Chicago, Dec. 21- Assessing that many men come to college with no definite purpose except to get through with a minimum amount of exertion, J. B. Shaw, dean of on at Iowa State College, said he believes that a chair of "buy guidance" should be established in every school.
"We need men in every school," he said, "to listen to the boys' ambitions and gain their confidence. We need men who are capable of counselling with the students with a view of helping them to take up a sense of profession.
"The mission of these counsellors would be to advise with the boy and aid him in choosing his life's work. After a boy had chosen his profes- sion counselor, he would come to the counsellor to establish a point of contact between the boy and some member of his probable profession that the latter might help him in any way.
Shaw expressed his ideas before the International Boys' Work Conference in session here.

"The date rule will not be suspended for midnight shown," said Mudge Warrell, president of W. S. G. A. According to Miss Warrell, this action was taken because of confusion in coming from the different mothers.
“If one goes to the midnight show he cannot possibly get in before 2 o’clock,” Miss Wardell said, “and the doctor should not be attended.”
Threefold Objective to Be Recommended for Christmas Fund
A threefold objective will be recommended to the general Christmas Tree committee at its meeting this afternoon by the executive committee.
The first part, which was the directing of part of the funds raised, not to exceed half to the aid of the two Russian students, Mr. and Mrs Peter Chelfanoff, who were brought here last year by the scholarship, has already been adopted by the general committee.
The second part calls for the use of half the remainder for the equipment of a room in a new student hospital. Until the hospital is built this part of the fund is to be used by the student loan committee.
The other half of the remainder is to be sent to Courd Hoffman of the International Student Service for aid to students in foreign countries.
This part of the recommendations was adopted after a lengthy discussion at the meeting yesterday. A strong minority was opposed to the plan, and it is probable that a minority will be selected. The sending of all above the scholarship fund to the International Student Service.
The general plans for the Christmas tree and program will be included in the recommendations. The same general plan will be used that has been the custom of previous years. Serenades by the glee club programs at hiatus, where candles are burning will also be recommended.
Those favoring the committee recommendation contended that the inclusion of equipping the hospital room will attract more and larger donations, and that it will attract attention of the staff. We are in a new hospital at the University.
The plans call for a doubleheader basketball game. One will be beaten by the Clippers, and the other beaten respectively by Prof. Raymond Wheeler and John R. Dyer. The other game will be between the varsity and a team composed of the Clippers, Wheeler, and Dyer.
The executive committee has been, enlarged to include all members of the subcommittees which were announced in Monday's Kansas. George Powers, whose name was omitted from the meeting, is a member of the athletic committee.
Some of the sub-committee reports were not complete. The functions of these committees, however, are more matters of detail and it is expected that they will be authorized to use their discretion in their plans.

Football Is Being Exploited, States Chancellor Lindley
Sports Tend to Dominate American Universities and Colleges, He Says
Football has ceased to be a sport, manchuch as teams play purely for the sake of winning, Chancellor E. H. Lindley said in an interview this morning. The game is not being played for its own sake but is being exploited, he declared. The chancellor also declared that as long as other colleges and universities are playing that way Kamus will do so, too.
"The University should maintain a balanced union." Chancellor Lindley declared this morning. "Unless Karson be no great interest in sports which is highly beneficial." The chancellor declared that he was back of athletes but he was against the sort of thing made it a commercialized thing.
"As long ... the American universities and colleges play football with the purpose of victory uppermind in their minds, we must also play the game to win," said Chancellor E. H. Lindley.
"It does not seem possible for the American college athletes to play for the sake of playing the game as the English players do."
"The tendency of the universities have been to place athletics to the fore to a too great degree. It is true that the player of the world's most popular sport today is be exploted, and no one can believe he gives his whole self and his college life for football. It cannot be the education that he is seeking."
The immense pressure upon coaches and directors of athletics was also pointed out by Chancellor Lindau. As the university's athletic department where one thing may make a difference of several thousand dollars in gate receipts there is a great pleasure for the institution to do the thing more efficiently rather than what is right.
In an article bearing a Lawrence date line appearing in the Kansas City Times this morning Chancellor Lloyd severely criticized the exploit of his program, saying the big thing in college, in agreement with William Allen White's editorial entitled "Bye-Bye Football" appearing recently in the Emporia Gazette. "Nothing will kill football more seriously as an amateur sport than a football game," he wrote first place in college life," he was quoted as saying.
